Wr ote Disposal Bonds Would Provide $69.1 ■
Post SUIT Writer
Mecklenburg voters will have the
opportunity to vote for or against a
variety of bond issues on November
5.
Bond mooey would be used in the
areas of solid waste disposal,
schools, pools, county buiidii^
CPCC, and water and sewer service.
WASTE DISPOSAL BONDS
Waste disposat bonds would
provide 668.5 million to build an
incinerator capable of burning 600
tons' of solid waste per day and
producing steam and electricity.
This would be in addition to a '
200-ton-per-day incinerator
approved in 1903 but yet to be built
The waste disposal boods would
also pay for a solid waste transfer
and recycling station, additional
landfill space, and a maintenance
shop for heavy equipment ’
It has been estimated that the
incinerators would take up to 40
percent of the county’s garbage, and
that the sale of steam and electricity
would pay for half the operating
coat.
SCHOOLBONDS
School bonds would provide 663.1
million for new schools and
improvements to existing schools.
Proponed new schools and improve
ments to existing schools. Proposed
new schools are a high school at
Provi donor Rd. and Hwy 51, a
junior high between Matthews and
Pineville, and three elementary

schools, one to be'located in the
Mallard Creek area, one between
Matthews and Pineville, and one on
Hwy. 51 between Elm Lane and
McAlpine Creek.
Hie creation of four of the new
schools in the southeast is not
■ expected to affect the pupil
assignment plan to maintain racial
balance, say proponents of the
school bonds.
Bond money would also be vised
for air conditioning at West Meck
lenburg High School and Wilson
Middle School, renovations at First
Ward Elementary, and the
upgrading of school libraries-media
